      That is hilarious! On a family vacation, we were sitting on the floor at (then) Lod Airport and my mom had just eaten a chocolate bar. Her fingers were covered with melted chocolate, so she was holding them up in the air while she read her book. An old man came along, reached down and wiped her fingers off.

    The fact that Elsa speaks such fluent Hebrew after only 4 years gives me hope. I made Aliyah almost 6 months ago and I need to get to a high level of proficiency in Hebrew if I want to pursue a career in secondary education here. Your videos help me a lot. Thank you!

      Hi Carina,
      My biggest tip is to speak as much as possible in Hebrew. When people switch to English, say that you don't speak English and want to speak Hebrew. You can progress significantly when you have "no choice" but to talk. In the beginning, it frustrating and challenging, but with time, it worth it.

On my way back to the US, I had a stopover in London and I was riding on the Tube (subway), and I guess I was staring at someone across from me. That person actually got up and changed seats 🙂

    Dressing up happens in Israel, but just as often you'll see lots of people come to a wedding reception dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, because that's what they wore to work that day before the reception. I've been in Israel for 47 years and wore a suit exactly once (at my wedding), and had to borrow a blazer and tie to wear to my son's wedding.

    I made aliyah in 1975, from North America, before either you were even born. Still here and same things ( and many more) you mentioned still drive me crazy, especially the lack of manners and privacy or respect for personal matters. Even though I speak fluent Hebrew, had all my kids here, decades of my working life here in Israeli companies, all my clothes are bought locally, people turn to me in English, before I've even opened my mouth! Will never feel fully integrated, by native Israelis who can be standoffish and cliquey. No, have no family roots, no connections, nobody opened any doors for me. It's rough and tumble all the time, but glad to be here for ideological reasons.

I will say, one way the informality was refreshing is that people didn't hesitate to offer help when we needed it, buying tickets for the light rail, knowing when to get off the bus, even using apps on our phone. We so appreciated everyone's help! Please, do more videos on culture shock!!!!

      Yes, being happy to help is the obverse of being nosy. I think people are often nosy, not just out of pure curiosity, but because they really care. There is a well-known saying "כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה" , which means "all of Israel are responsible for one another".

The kindergartens are noisy, the schools are chaotic, not to mention the army..not enough emphasis is given to developing mutual respect for one another in society, since "society" was something very small - now that Israelpopulation is similar to a mid-sized European country - things will start to change.

    Cultural differences can be amusing to examine, if you have an open mind. I once told a Druze sergeant that I, (an ahem, mature, man) had never been married, and his "Why?" clearly translated as "What planet are you from?".
    The work week's easy to adjust, though sometimes it's easy to put the wrong European name on the day. Hebrew names for the day are actually more logical. Starting the day at sunset gets to be a nuisance, if you want to take a bus anywhere on Friday.
    Watching the care Israelis take of children, not just their own, is rather charming. I like the story about the beach lifeguard who told a woman to look after her child, and when she said "But it's not mine", he said "Well look after it anyway".

    I'm an olah hadasha from the US. One big difference (or lack) between Israel and the US is the absolute absence of "customer service". The concept is completely foreign to most Israeli businesses. They seem to never have heard of such a thing and certainly do NOT run their business according to that philosophy. The attitude is more like they are doing you a huge favor to assist you. No one here ever heard of such a thing as "the customer is always right!" Yes, I would love another episode on this topic of surprising things about Israel. Another thing that surprised me when I first came was the tzeva adom sirens on certain holidays. I didn't know about that and thought the country was under attack! Hahaha! Also, weddings here are sooooo extravagant! I cannot imagine how much people spend on a wedding! It's the one place in Israel where people actually do tend to dress to the nines.

    Some are really exaggerated.
    1. Formality exists on the fringes. In early parts of the military (but not later), on courts to some extent, and try not to address a policeman with "bro". But indeed, virtually non existent
    2. Some people are nosy, but it's dying out. You'd always encounter the odd person, but it doesn't mean everyone at work will tell you what to do. Yeah, every woman will have someone telling her "when are you getting pregnant?!?" somewhere down the line.
    3. Politics and religion aren't really a thing you talk about at first at work, in some settings, but it depends on the industry. When you're close with someone, sure.

    Tout d'abord : Shabbat shalom.
    Ça fait plaisir de vous écouter parler en hébreu, car c'est une langue que je ne connais presque pas du tout. Bcp de monde ignorent que l'hébreu est une langue non seulement ancienne et religieuse, mais très moderne aussi. Trop de monde ignorent également qu'en Eretz Israël, il y a des millions d'individus qui s'occupent principalement de leur quotidien, nonobstant les événements parfois calamiteux que les médias diffusent.
    Ce visionnement est jouissif.

    I don't know if it's quite culture shock but I just got back from visiting and one of the things that surprised me the most was the number of people who spoke Russian. If I was having trouble understanding what someone was trying to say to me in Hebrew, I would usually go "I am bad at speaking Hebrew. Do you speak English?" and if the answer was no, they generally asked if I speak Russian.
    Also, people were not nearly as rude as I was told to expect

    Funny video in that everything you describe is true.

Now, it's what I love about the place and the people. The first thing I taught my kids was the hand sign for "״רגע!!!

    בקשר לתאריך עברי/לועזי יש מלא אנשים שמשתמשים בתאריך עברי בלבד, ובקושי מתמצאים ב לועזי אם בכלל. אחד סיפר לי שכאשר היה צעיר, הלך לרופא ששאל אותו מה תאריך הלידה שלו, והשיב לו התאריך העברי. הרופא התעקש ודייק שהתכוון לתאריך הלועזי, והבחור אפילו לא הבין את השאלה.

    I'm French, not Jewish, but I keep on visiting israel as many times as I can. The houstpah is the thing that shocked me the first time I landed. The people pushing me to ask train tickets whereas I was here before them ; a man ignoring two or three people (including me) at the post office, saying, I'm in a hurry, let me go... and the employee did not care at all... It's an amazing country which is on the edge of East and West, but with the positive aspects of both.

    I am an American Jew who has visited Israel more times than I can remember. I know what to expect, and I know what I will see upon landing and spending two or three weeks in the country. But for first time visitors, there certainly is a culture shock.
    For the Jew from Teaneck New Jersey who belongs to Temple Sinai, and believes him/herself to be a typical Jew. Guess what? You are not! I remember one woman I met who was surprised to see Jews working as laborers, janitors, and waiters. Well, with about 3/4 of the country being Jewish, did you really expect every Jew you meet to be a doctor, lawyer, or accountant? Watching them in a kosher restaurant, or walking by a Haredi is particularly amusing. Hopefully, they take it as a learning experience.
    American Christians have twice as much shock to deal with. First, they find out that Jews throughout the world are not quite like what they see in movies and television. Then they discover that American Christianity is not quite like the Christianity the rest of the world practices. Though there are a few Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Armenian, and Coptic churches in the US, for most Americans coming to Israel is the first time they experience these denominations directly. Accept it as a learning experience.

    U guys are very sympaticos. And to the Lady, well done for your beautiful Hebrew. You have forgotten the following, can be in a different video.
    1. In France, hildren are educated to think, in Israel, we forge problem solving minds.
    2. In Israel, there is a social intelligence that is even taught at school, in France, children tend to be more reserved, the climate and the infrastructure do note facilitate it.
    3. In Israel, when a child travels a few days with a group, the parents stop sleeping, in France, they send their kids 1 full month in summer camps and the parents go on vacation without any guilt or worries.
    4. In most israeli cities, everything is made for children, in big French cities, let's say that it is perfectible
    5. In Israel, religion is everywhere, in the street, in offices, in schools, hotels, hospitals, it is in the culture and in the earth. In France, religion is not even a subject of small talk.
    6. In France, one arrives on time to a meeting, in Israel, it is be ezrat hashem. (Never got used tonthis one).
    7. In France, one grows up with a discipline close to military. In Israel, one gets it at the army and after, one forgets it. This creates clashes of culture between the french and the israelis.
    8. 33% of Israel go to school, Israel is young, the age of the average French is much higher. This would create a difference of culture and of generation.
    9. Jewish French expects the best is to come when they meet Israelis. Israelis expect the worse from the French when they meet one.
    10. When I open my mouth in France, it is a non event, when I do the same in Israel, it suddenly smells like croissonim, isn't it marvellous.
    It took me 15 years to integrate in Israel. My brain was shaped for a life in European cultures, at the end, I got it, I don't get mad anymore,
    Have fun

      @@rosiebowers1671 I am still trying to understand the matter. I know that Napoleon didn't help, but I know that French Jews in average have it hard to integrate in Israel (with many exceptions of course). Mastering Hebrew is a must, it makes it possible to defend ourselves against racists.
      Sometimes, they would say that we are actually not french but north africans.

    Know that in North America calendars are structured such that the last day of the week appears to be Saturday, Shabbat, not Sunday. Truth be told, some Christians still celebrate Saturday as the Sabbath. Catholics used to until the Roman emperor Constantine adopted Christianity as the state religion and made Sunday the day of rest.

      I agree with you: Hebrew is somehow more logical to learn than English or French. I like playing with the shorashim, It goes into very deep meanings, it opens many doors, there is some kind of rouach in this langage that I cannot explain. It comes from my rahamim.
      I started hebrew night classes but I am too lazy to learn grammar and conjugation puzzle. So I decided to learn speaking hebrew in the field in Israël notably by being mitnadev in the IDF with the Sar - El project.
